In a move aligned with the Government of India’s focus on reducing logistics costs through the PM Gati Shakti Programme and National Logistics Policy, SATRAC has introduced the country’s first-ever Road Train Trailers. The innovation is designed to enhance long-haul freight efficiency and redefine standards of safety and performance across India’s supply chain network.
Boosting Efficiency and Payload Capacity
The Road Train concept – where two trailers are linked and hauled by a single prime mover – enables significantly higher freight volume per trip. This translates into fewer trips, lower fuel and manpower costs, and improved turnaround times. The increased payload directly reduces cost per ton-kilometre, offering substantial savings for transporters and logistics operators.
SATRAC’s system is particularly suited for industries that require bulk movement of goods across long distances, offering a more competitive edge for Indian businesses in global supply chains.
Advanced Safety and Control Technologies
The new trailers are built with an emphasis on operational safety and control. Key features include:
- CAN Router Technology for real-time data exchange between the tractor and trailers
- 360° Camera Systems that eliminate blind spots and improve driver visibility
- Beacon and Side Marker Lamps for enhanced road visibility
- Synchronized Braking Systems across all trailers to ensure stable deceleration
- Steerable Axles to reduce turning radius and improve manoeuvrability
These features make the Road Trains safer and more compliant with emerging expectations in fleet operations.
Backing India’s Logistics Transformation
With the government targeting a reduction in logistics cost from 14% to 8% of GDP, such innovations are critical to unlocking efficiency across the transport sector. SATRAC, known for its engineering strength and partnership with top fleet operators, aims to play a key role in this transformation.
As the logistics sector evolves, SATRAC’s Road Train Trailers mark a bold step forward in modernising India’s freight movement, helping the country move faster, farther, and more efficiently.
